Friday, March 24, 2023, was a day of celebrations as Hershey Entertainment & Resorts (HE&R) 2022 Partners of the Year were announced at Town Hall meetings across several properties.
Throughout the 2022 calendar year, team members were nominated by their peers or supervisors for “Team Member of the Month” recognition and exemplify HE&R's Core Values: Devoted to the Legacy, Selfless Spirit of Service, Team-Focused and Respectful of Others.
